It's destiny!
As much as I enjoy the romantic relationship progression in these shows, Okaeri isn't about that. I find it highly unlikely anyone will be involved romantically at the end of this series. The show...

Who's staying where?
So could someone clarify what went down with Sakuya's master plan in episode 6? I wasn't really paying attention, but this is what I gathered:
Sakuya had her father build the new dorms just so...

Okaeri!
This season has been great...plenty of Hosaka and the Minami brothers. The Minami sisters are the stars and I wouldn't have it any other way but the guys add that extra spice to make things...

Finally!
I've been waiting for an appropriate Hosaka and Haruka fantasy since the end of season one. Episode four delivered.

xxxHolic
Such a brilliant series.
There's only a few central characters, but the chemistry between them is priceless. I've been waiting since we met Himawari-chan for some background on her character and...

Good Knight?
Interesting episode, not the best finale, but for a Shojo series it wasn't the worst either. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, but once again that seems to be a positive thing as many of the...

This last episode (six) seemed uncharacteristic for xxxHolic, in particular because it would be difficult for anyone unfamiliar with the basics of Mahjong to follow the dramatic developments. More...

I understand the need to conform to tradition, and for all I know Macross was the series that originated the concept of giant space mechas (I'm not a expert on Macross history). It's just not my...

Kurenai excels at "true to life" dialogue replete with it's quick pace, repetition, interruption and simplicity to maximize efficiency (but mask complexity). Tamaki's confrontation is a prime...

I can't agree more with the positive reviews rolling in for episode six. It was just a pleasure to watch. Almost everyone stepped out of character for a short while. Benika is visibly flustered,...

Great episode, it's nice to have Nunnally back in the mix. I certainly hope she doesn't catch flack from the fans for following in Euphemia's footsteps like Suzaku did (probably of course from a...

After the grand scope of his last few contracts, it felt odd that Golgo accepted the one in episode four. Initially I would have assumed he did it for the physical reward, but it's implied that he...
